Funded Activity Summary

Cyberhate: the new digital divide? This project aims to investigate the threat posed to online participation and digital citizenship by the recent, marked increase in rape threats and sexualised vitriol directed at women online. While hostile discourse on social media platforms and the internet has been studied by cyberbullying researchers to determine its impact on youth, there is little scholarship on its effect on women and on adult targets. This project will map the emergent phenomenon of gendered cyberhate using approaches from the new field of internet historiography. It will make a major contribution to the study of digital citizenship and fill a significant research gap in understanding the nature and impact of hate speech online.
